Kayvan,
Maybe you should add some ranges?
2000 - 5000
5000 - 10000
10000 - 30000
30000+
I'd be curious to know if anyone really drove these like regular cars. There are already 5 people that might be above 2000.
(I put about 700 on mine.)

In order to qualify for "Collector-Plates" here in BC, I have to have another car insured for every day use. In my case a 1986 VW Jetta ( the work horse....)
Other than not being allowed to drive the Pagoda to work and/or to school there are no other limitations. Therefore I drive the car whenever I can in DRY weather. I am semiretired and work only parttime so I have lots of time to do so.  With the hardtop in winter, with the top down in summer. I hardly drive with the softtop up. So I do put on a fair amount of miles every year. (3k-5k)

CHEERS !
WITT !

We had an exceptionall great summer this year and I drove her almost daily !

Thanks for adding the ranges !!!  
And Witt, that is great that you get to drive yours so much ... as I'm sure you know.

Looks like 50% of people are driving 1000-2000 mi/yr.

Thats consistent with weekend drives, and great for keeping SLs healthy.

Hope others try and increase driving as its good for the cars and You!

Year is not over yet... I'm heading out to wash her and drive her down to fayetteville for dinner.

I drive mine when I can on nice days.  Now that I have a soft top I may go out more.  The threat of rain has stopped me allot this year.  I drive my 280 SE 4.5 also.
1800 miles-230SL
1500 miles-280SE 4.5

Ok... Now I can finally answer this one! For the last few years, I have been documenting my mileage (kilometers actually) on New Years Eve. This year, the official reading was 22223 KM. Last 12/31 the reading was 19403. Therefore, my total for 2009 was 2820 KMs or about 1752 miles. Actually a bit lower than my average over the last several years. Not for lack of trying -- car ran well all year and if it was sunny I gravitated towards driving it as I always do... Maybe just not as many Bay Area trips as previous years? Anyway, just for comparison -- these are my stats going back a few years...

2009 --  2820  or 1752 mi
2008 --  4813  or 2990
2007 --  6127! or 3807  -- it was a verrrry good year 
2006 --  4660  or 2895

This year only 450km,
 normally 800km a year

My 1970 is my only car. Drive it everywhere every day. about 10,000-12,000 per year.

[Eryck]

Shame on me.  I think I did about 100-150 kms.  HK being so small and I being so lazy to get up for them morning drives....

About 1200 miles including a 350 mile roundtrip to Sweden, something I would never have done in any of my previous classics (MGA, TR6, Spitfire)
